Assistant Han has long been used to Zhang Xiuyan and Mr. Zhang's preference for Yuan Ning.

This child seems to be a lucky one. He is liked and protected everywhere. He has always been soft-tempered, but he is also very smart and thinks things clearly.

But if you think about it carefully, this child is not too lucky. After all, he lost his parents early on, and he also developed a cautious, overthinking and overseeing character early on.

Seeing that the boarding time was approaching, Assistant Han asked to remind.

Yuan Ning blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.He hugged Zhang Xiuyan in front of so many people and did not let go, others would definitely laugh at him!

Yuan Ning hurriedly withdrew his hand, took the ticket assigned to him by Assistant Han, and prepared to board the plane.The weather was fine, it was almost evening, but there was not a single cloud in the sky, it was very suitable for flying.

It was the first time for Yuan Ning to fly on a plane, and she was a little nervous. When passing the security check, she stared at the people in front of her. When it was her turn, she followed the example of those people in front of her and asked the uncle of the security check to check for herself. Amused.

Zhang Xiuyan followed behind Yuan Ning, passing the inspection while looking at Yuan Ning who came to the front and waited for him.After all three people had passed the security check, they all followed the crowd to the boarding place.

There were large and small planes parked outside, Yuan Ning was thinking about moving the grave, and didn't have the time to take a closer look, so Zhang Xiuyan dragged him onto the corresponding flight.

It was getting dark, and the flight attendant had a gentle smile on her face, reminding the flight attendant of some precautions while walking.

Yuan Ning sat down in his seat, and was about to learn what Zhang Xiuyan next to him should do, but he suddenly saw a trace of black air wrapped around the body of the man next to him, and the end of the black thread fluttered in the aisle, as if Looking for a place to climb.

Yuan Ning was stunned for a moment, and said to Zhang Xiuyan: "Brother, can I change places with you?" Zhang Xiuyan was too close to the black silk threads, and he was afraid that those black threads would crawl onto Zhang Xiuyan.He has fish and springs and they are there, don't be afraid!

Zhang Xiuyan did not indulge Yuan Ning unconditionally.He stared at Yuan Ning and asked, "Why?"

Yuan Ning thought for a long time before trying to come up with a reason: "I, I like to sleep on my brother's right shoulder." He is not very good at lying, and his face turned red again.

Changing seats is just a trivial matter, Zhang Xiuyan didn't ask any more questions, got up and exchanged seats with Yuan Ning.He said: "There may be buzzing in your ears when you take off. Don't be afraid, it's okay. It will be normal after you fly. Get a good sleep and you may arrive when you wake up." Compared with taking a train for more than a whole day, the efficiency of the plane is better Much higher.

Yuan Ning nodded obediently.He sat down again, looking at the black silk thread.There were so many black silk threads that they almost wrapped the person next to him.

No matter how hard Yuan Ning looked, he couldn't see the man's face clearly.What kind of person is that?Why are there so many black threads on his body?Could he be planning to do something on the plane?

Yuan Ning thought about it carefully, and a flight attendant walked over with a smile on his face, and warmly greeted the person covered in black silk thread: "Mr. Qian, this is a private visit by you! Welcome to our Beihang Airlines guide! Our captain Knowing that you were flying with us, I almost wanted to come over and see for myself. The captain said, you taught him how to fly the plane back then!"

Someone yelled from a distance, and the flight attendant who spoke answered, turned around and walked away from that person.

Yuan Ning looked carefully and finally saw the man's appearance clearly.

It was a 53-year-old man with silvery hair on his sideburns, his face was full of wrinkles, and his lips were tightly drawn, giving him an unkind feeling.His eyes are sharp, like the eyes of an eagle, and he can see clearly no matter how far the prey is.

Yuan Ning was stunned, and found that this person had no malice towards everything around him, whether it was towards the passengers or the flight attendant who was so enthusiastic just now.Yuan Ning hesitated for a while, then turned to look at the old man: "Uncle, did you know how to fly a plane before?"

The old man was a little surprised when he heard Yuan Ning's question.

He has never been destined to be a child, and the students he teaches fear him more than they love him. Later, China Southern Airlines had an accident and went bankrupt, and not many people were willing to be close to him.This kid doesn't look very bold, and there is still a bit of timidity in his eyes.

The old man was silent for a moment, and replied: "It used to be open, but not now."

"Why didn't you open it?" Yuan Ning asked.

"If something goes wrong, it won't fly." The old man sighed, "I can't fly anymore, China Southern Airlines was the best airline in China at that time, but unfortunately I mistrusted someone and bought a batch of new passenger planes full of problems. On the day of the first flight of those passenger planes, my best students drove them, but they ran into problems in the middle, and the whole plane disappeared. I went to Nanguang this time just to see him. Unconsciously It's been so many years..." The old man's expression was full of sadness.

Yuan Ning listened quietly.

Zhang Xiuyan was also paying attention to their conversation.He looked at the gray-haired old man, but he couldn't quite recognize this old man who was once known as "Hua Guo Airliner No. 1".

That disaster was rare both at home and abroad. Mr. Qian, who was always pursuing innovation and performance, disappeared after the disaster. China Southern Airlines also declared bankruptcy shortly after. The momentary aviation giant disappeared in an instant.

This plainly dressed old man is actually that Mr. Qian?

"Look at me, I'm actually telling you this." The old man felt a little strange today, looking into the eyes of the child next to him, he couldn't help but speak out the pain hidden in his heart.That's his best student!That is the China Southern Airlines that he has devoted countless efforts to!Just because of the little urgency in his heart, he let them all die that day - and took so many lives.The old man looked haggard, "Oh, it's all my debt, a debt that I can't repay in my life."

Yuan Ning frowned.Could it be that the black thread on the old man's body is the "debt" he said?

Yuan Ning couldn't help thinking of the tram driver last time.

The eldest brother said that the driver was full of hostility towards everyone and unable to sympathize with anyone because of the restlessness and anger accumulated day and night.But when the driver encountered danger, he remembered his duty as a driver and protected all the passengers in the car——that driver is still a good and conscientious driver.

Could the disappearance of those black threads be related to this point—could it be related to the driver remembering his duty and forgetting his anxiety and anger?

Yuan Ning frowned and thought for a while before talking to the old man: "What a pity."

"Yes, it's a pity." The old man's eyes were a little sad.

Yuan Ning looked at the old man: "Did you be deceived by someone? Those liars are really hateful!"

The old man said with a wry smile: "It's also my fault that I only learned half a bucket of water, and I feel that I understand everything. Too arrogant!"

"I hope that such a thing will not happen again in the future." Yuan Ning said sincerely.

"There will be no more, no one will be as impulsive as me." The old man sighed.

Yuan Ning asked: "Do we buy all our planes from foreign countries? Why don't we make them ourselves?"

The old man was taken aback by Yuan Ning's question.

Facing Yuan Ning's clear eyes, the old man couldn't say the old-fashioned rhetoric of "not enough technology, not enough talent".But what else can I say?

The old man shook his head: "The country has been doing research, but there are too many technical problems, and it is difficult to solve them all at once. Even if it is done, no airline is willing to sign it. It is too difficult to develop..."

Yuan Ning said: "Did you also participate in the research and development? You must like airplanes very much!" Even if something like that happened, suffered like pain, and lost everything that was useful, he could still overcome the pain in his heart and board again. Airplane, feel the feeling of flying.

The old man did not answer immediately.

He remembered that he had indeed received an invitation from the Institute of National Studies, but because he was deeply concerned about that disaster and could not forgive the mistakes he made, he rejected the invitation sent there.

The old man looked slightly dazed.He realized that he had done wrong again. If he agreed, he could participate in the development of domestic airliners-maybe he only had a little experience that could be useful, but what if his experience happened to be needed there?

It took a long time for the old man to come back to his senses and said, "Yes, I like it very much..."

Yuan Ning saw that the black silk threads on the old man's body seemed to have touched something that frightened them, and receded like a tide.

This kind of change is impossible for others to notice, but Yuan Ning saw that there was a gleam of light in the old man's deep eyes.

Are those black silk threads afraid of such light?

Yuan Ning still couldn't figure it out.He still wanted to talk to the old man again, but Zhang Xiuyan rubbed his head: "Sleep."

Yuan Ning looked at the old man who had calmed down, and at Zhang Xiuyan who was looking at him seriously, and obediently leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.He soon fell asleep and saw the ivory in the "dream".

Yuan Ning told Ivory what he had found.

Ivory said: "So those black silk threads can actually be removed? As long as human beings are determined and determined to sweep them away, they will be scared and run away?"

Yuan Ning was confused: "I don't know." He just observed such a situation by accident.

Ivory said: "Then you can see more!"

Yuan Ning nodded.He told Xiangya again that he was going back to the south, that the place where his parents were buried had been sold, and he wanted to take his parents' ashes to the north.

Ivory listened quietly, and waited for Yuan Ning to finish before answering: "I don't understand this very well, if it is very important, I wish you all the best. We have no graves for flowers and plants, and no ashes."

Yuan Ning said "oh", and didn't talk about it with Xiangya, but talked about the weather in the south.It doesn't snow in the south, and the weather is still very hot. There may still be people wearing short-sleeved clothes on the street.

After a few more days, it will be cold, but it is still much warmer than in the north, and you can survive the winter without heating.Until the Chinese New Year, there are still many flowers that will bloom.He once raised a pot of narcissus, which his mother brought back from the city. When the flowers bloomed, the house was full of fragrance.Mom praised how well it was raised, and helped him hide the bulbs after the flowers faded, saying that they would plant them again next year...

While talking, Yuan Ning was really sleepy, and closed his eyes after saying goodbye to the ivories.

Seeing that Yuan Ning had stopped talking, the ginseng babies ran to see the "experimental field" they were in charge of in disappointment. There were already many green seedlings emerging from the ground, and the emerald green leaves fluttered in the wind, as if foreshadowing where they would grow. very quickly.Soon you will be able to pick herbs and vegetables!The ginseng babies worked harder to take care of the "experimental field", preparing to wait for Yuan Ning to come in next time to offer treasures to Yuan Ning.

Yuan Ning fell asleep all the way in a daze, and was not woken up by Zhang Xiuyan until the plane arrived in Nanguang.

As soon as he walked out of the station, Yuan Ning saw Yuan Bo and the three who came to pick him up.
